Maintaining a network can be tricky, especially when you don’t have the latest and greatest network equipment. If you feel that your network could do with an upgrade, we here at ACR highly recommend the UniFi network range from Ubiquiti Networks.
The UniFi range allows the Tech team at ACR to remotely manage as much of your network as you would like us to, meaning that we can configure your network infrastructure to function better than ever before. We supply you with the hardware too, so that the whole process is as straightforward as possible.
What is needed for ACR to remotely manage your network?
Depending on how much of the network you would like us to manage, you may require a few different UniFi products. Below are some of the most UniFi popular options that we supply to ACR customers.
UniFi Cloud Controller (’Cloud Key’) – $195 ex. GST
If you do decide that you want us to remotely manage your network, then the Cloud Controller or ‘Cloud Key’ is essential. It is a small device that you connect to your network via an ethernet cable that allows us to securely connect to your network so that we can start managing it. And the best part is the Cloud Key does not require any ongoing payments for it to function – you just purchase one unit, plug it in, and you’re good to go!
UniFi Access Point – $195 ex. GST
Is your existing WiFi signal not as strong as you would like it to be? UniFi Access Points (APs) can help solve that issue. When paired with a Cloud Controller, the ACR Tech team can remotely manage the AP to make sure that your WiFi signal gives you the best possible performance. And if you have multiple UniFi APs connected to your network, they can be configured to provide a single constant WiFi connection throughout your site so that you’re always connected.
UniFi Switches and Routers – price varies per model
When you want ACR to manage your entire network, you will likely need both UniFi network switches and a UniFi router. Depending on your networking needs, you may require a switch that has a larger number of ports or extra features (like PoE). Because of this, the price per model can vary from business to business – so make sure to contact us to obtain a quote for your network. The benefit of having an entirely UniFi-based network setup is that you do not need to deal with any part of the network – leave it with us, and we’ll ensure that your network runs without a hitch.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in, reach out to us at ACR and we’ll happily discuss your options.
